Yeah I probably do, but I feel like I make up for it on my backloading days. Eat a little light on the days I don’t lift, and on the days I do I eat till my stomach hurts haha.

He has. Its called the Carb nite solution.

LOl as long as you dont get bloated from the yogurt. I tried doing a majority of my carbs from cookies and other “crappier” carbs and my god that did not agree with me. I have to keep those types a lot smaller. I was un happy most of sat.

To an extent, yes. Naomi has said that some changes would be made to CN, I have it and I just notice that my performance isn’t anything close to how it is versus CBL. Also, if I recall, Kiefer uses CBL more for himself and he is in that 6% range. I’d be curious if he used that to get down there and maintains around that level with CBL, or used CN to do so.

Its not surprising your performance drops on that. If you are after maximum fatloss you probably just need to focus on that for a short time and then maintain your new leanness and get back to performing how you want with CBL.

One of his recent articles on his website said that’s what most of his clients did: Got to about 6% with CN, then maintained leanness while adding mass with CBL
Gained 5 pounds. My guess is the pizza. Perhaps that’s not the best for me. I’m thinking either sticking to rice and having a modest dessert, or eating things that don’t contain as much bread. Like a pie

I was eating a lot of shitty stuff and starting feel like shit. Now I mainly use a ton of rice and FINiBARs. I feel better and workouts have been great.

Yeah Kiefer says don’t use the diet as an excuse to eat shit. And I have been. I’m going to keep the crazy stuff to just dessert and focus on the carbs coming from rice mostly.

I started CBL in January and was eating basically whatever I wanted from the time I finished lifting until bed for my backloads. I lost weight from my prep phase (240-232) but then I was sitting stagnant around 235 for a long time.
Now I changed things around and for my backloads I generally do one meal after my PWO shake with white bread, pop tarts, maybe another type of dessert, and usually try to keep it all in one meal. This has been working much better for me and I am now consistently weighing around 228-229 in the mornings and I feel I have gained muscle from when I was 240.
Just like Kiefer/Naomi always say, use your body as a science experiment and figure out what works for you.
This week I swapped out my usual bowl of Muesli that I had with Steak, cottage cheese and salad at my last meal for a bowl of icecream. Result. Losing fat again while my calories have stayed the same or slightly increased. Hungrier than usual in mornings.
Any of you guys have access to a glucometer or get glucose labs done in the morning? I would be interested in seeing what your glucose levels are and how long it takes to reduce to “normal” levels with various types of food and sized carb loads and also how this relates to morning hunger and what not
I am so analytical that i hate just having subjective things to go by. I like numbers lol

I would assume those are the prick your finger tests that diabetics use?

In which case HELL NO! me and needles do not mix! Im happy with my subjective measures such as hunger and leanness!
It is one of those. Or if you get a panel run for blood test from a doc through a an actual lab. But the glucometer is much easier and you can do in your home whenever you want
